Well, it will *if* you're building from CVS; in order to build from CVS,
you need Python in order to generate the NCP dissector file
"packet-ncp2222.c" from "ncp2222.py".

If you're building from a release tarball, however, you don't need to
run autogen.sh, and the release tarball includes "packet-ncp2222.c", so
Python isn't needed to generate it, so it should use the shell script if
Python isn't available.
